What is to be expected

An informal cross between "mission statement" and "fair warning about what is likely to be found in these pages."

Things that are likely to be found here:

• Random (and frequently banal) musings about game design.
• Random (and frequently trite) prototypes of things I throw together as they interest me.
• Random (and frequently boring) updates on any projects I am currently working on.
• Anything else that seems amusing to me.

The intended audiences for this drivel are:

• Friends
• Acquaintances
  
• People who are, for whatever reason, willing to wade through the above, hoping for the fleeting moments where I am lucid enough to make something approaching a compelling point.

There. Now that I've got that out of the way, I can commence with the driveling, while having something to point back at, and say "I told you so!" should anyone see fit to send me churlish emails decrying the quality of my posts.

Playing with CSS

Trying out a new format option. "Below the Fold" text. So I can have my massively long posts, without having them destroy everything else on the front page. They are neat! Observe:

This text cannot be seen from the front page! It requires effort to view! Effort in the form of mouse clicks! Click click click!

I found this page to be both extremely helpful for setting it up, and extremely hurtful to my layout sensibilities. (On my browser at least, it ends up being very large text, in seemingly arbitrarily narrow columns, with various garish colors and animations assaulting my delicate senses at all times. Heavens!

I'm not sure if this is the best way to achieve the effect I want, but it seems to be working, so who am I to complain? No doubt, sooner or later a friend who actually, you know, knows CSS will wander by and gape silently in abject horror at the solution I cut-and-pasted from the internet. But until then, yay! It works! And the page did a good job of making it fairly straightforward to put together, and I even managed a minor tweak on my own. (Making things clicked not spawn new windows/tabs by default.)

Hooray! It works!
